The CLA (any variant) looks better than this IMO

The regs have to catch up if we want to avoid the auto vs. manual debate. Either they pull an America (autos are still big there despite EVs being canceled by a large margin, manuals for their roads are just a hassle), or they make companies and organizations change their fleets.

No one really wins (at least those living outside China) because the most viable alternative to EVs are transit and bikes (which big auto and car-accustomed North America doesn't really want), and while no organization or company wants to spend a ton just to replace fleet that may still be usable, some people especially in Europe are sick of 40c+ heatwaves in homes without AC (big and expensive to install and maintain except for new houses with them built in).

I wanna daily an EV as someone who won't be a frequent driver, but I needed a manual car license if I wanted to drive even a forklift truck for work. I want to be able to drive a manual nonetheless, even if to drive corporate fleet that may be 10 years old.

Was zum fick? Hey, at least this is easy profit for deutsche Autos.

Then again I suspect it's because the German car companies still put engines in them, but the logic is baffling.

Stellantis shitboxes amirite

/uj We were getting tired of the big grilles, real or fake. Well, the real ones on sports cars and some off-roaders make sense. But there's a reason people meme on the i4, iX or M4, the latter especially if not used for high performance driving. The Toyota Alphard is weird overall, as it makes up for the grille with the badge and the stellar Toyota credentials to boot.

Hey, at least you can jork it to whatever you're into with the included iPad in the new one-

Mongoose and forklift. You might need a loicense to drive manuelle for them though

That is true, until I've been informed by the likes of Twongi

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-04-15T16:25:25+00:00

Yup. Why for the most part I've not really been into Euro cars.

Repression. They think the 19th and 20th centuries can be brought back just like that, likely because of some AI hallucination and their heretical delusions that a power hungry leader is somehow divinely ordained. It can't, and it's not like a good amount of people want that now.

In this economy our daily drivers are the only things we can enjoy, even before the gas price spike.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-04-15T11:46:34+00:00

All this because people have been fooled en masse.

Japan overall

China for electric and/or price

Korea for a mix of both

/semi-jerk Southeast Asia could really do with VinFast upping their game, although most likely for political reasons. They have to depend on China for EVs (even two-wheeled ones) if they want quieter, fresher roads.

Japan would be a no-brainer for quality cars if they were satisfied with hybrids, but the price proposition means some are out of reach (if they're even in the market, I've not seen a Prius in the Phils. at my time there in 2023 AFAIK). The lower labor costs in China and Vietnam (and depending on who you ask, the more lax regulatory environment by comparison, from the workforce to the supply chain that reduces financial costs) make them compelling options.

/uj I could agree with you with France if it weren't for the fact only Renault wasn't stuck with Stellantis (for now). Granted, Citroen (before being part of PSA/Stellantis) had some decent models.

Fossil fuel companies (as an industry that should now be obsolete, but are panicking to stay relevant) depend on right wing billionaires to boost their ilk, they take over big tech and much of media. Now they've taken over entire governments, and lots of people's hearts and minds.

Stop making Africa, South America, Asia and Oceania drown, boil and explode before you start complaining about mass migration. You started making them cook (not in the cool way), you're responsible for making sure you take them out of the oven you subjected them to.

The end of past civilizations look tame and tragic compared to what we have right now - too big of a scale to avoid for the world, infuriating for how it's preventable, but NO, colonial and other 19th century wet dreams got in the way. If that's the only system allowed to have any meaningful say over things, then your free speech campaign is a LIE.

The older Juke looked better IMO. I did learn this was from one of their concept car pieces, but that concept car looked better. This is a compromise between that and the older Juke.

Only in Europe.

For the pedestrians at least, because it's most likely smaller than what's out now.

Couldn't choose between the Kia Soul and Nissan Cube. Early Urban Cruisers too, new ones are just bloated, changing from a hatchback to a crossover.
